Vancouver, B.C., January 23, 2008: Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SIR) and its 50%/50% joint venture partner Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: FEX), are pleased to report that Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. of Laval, Quebec has recently completed 6,624 line kilometres of airborne magnetic surveys, at 250-metre line spacings, over all 16 SIR/FEX properties within the QUEST project area in central British Columbia. The surveys were conducted between November and December, 2007; compilation of preliminary results is in progress. The 16 copper-gold porphyry targets were acquired in the summer of 2007 on the basis of high magnetic anomalies identified from the mid-1960s' federal government wide-spaced regional airborne geophysical surveys over the area.
The QUEST JV project lies within the highly endowed and prospective Quesnel Terrane. The properties included in the Serengeti-Fjordland JV area, between Quesnel and Fort St. James, total approximately 97,000 hectares and include: Tezz, Gold, MM, Ping, RL 1, RL 2, RL 3, RL 4, RL 5, PG, Copper, ST, MP, QN 1, QN 2 and Q (see property location map on the companies' websites). The QUEST JV area also includes much of the region identified by Geoscience BC, where during 2007 it carried out regional airborne EM and gravity geophysical surveys, at 4-kilometre and 2-kilometre line spacings, respectively. Results from the EM survey, as well as from reanalysis of stream and lake sediment samples in the Quest area, will be released during the annual Mineral Exploration Roundup meeting in Vancouver, January 28-31, 2008. Much of the area surveyed is covered by glacial overburden, which has historically hampered conventional exploration. As such, this region represents a significantly under-explored area. Since the announcement of the Geoscience BC "Quest" project in June, 2007, over 750,000 hectares of mineral units have been registered by a wide variety of explorers.
Preliminary results from the Serengeti/Fjordland surveys have significantly refined the targeted magnetic anomalies on all 16 properties. Once final results are received over the next few weeks, plans will be made for follow-up ground induced polarization surveys to begin this spring.
